Supp. 



THE length of this species is ten inches, breadth twenty-one 

 and a half, weight two ounces and a half. Bill short, weak, 

 blackish; gape wide; eyes very large; irides dusky ; the plumage 

 is beautifully diversified with cinereous, dark brown, ferruginous, 

 and white ; beneath rusty brown, crossed with numerous, undulated 

 lines ; on the three first quills an oval spot of white on the inner 

 webs, and the two outer feathers of the tail end in a large white 

 spot; legs short, feathered much below the joint, rough and scaly; 

 the toes connected on each side at the bottom by a slight membrane ; 

 the middle claw serrated. 



The female differs from the other sex, in the plumage being less 

 bright, and in not having any white spots on the quills, or tail. 



The above is the only one of the Genus found in England, or 

 indeed throughout Europe, but extends both to Africa and Asia ;
